It’s spring in Washington which means it’s all about the cherry… blossoms. This year we’ve been blessed with several days of warmer-than-normal weather.

The blossoms are reacting in the usual fashion, blossoming before the festivities. The National Cherry Blossom Festival parade and hordes of (well-paying, thank you) tourists may only see the fallen petals swirling around them as they go from museum to museum on the National Mall.
